On a BracketBuster Saturday when there ain't much good to say about the Broncos -- or the MAC, for that matter -- I'll spare you the analysis from WMU's 59-57 loss to Eastern Illinois and focus on potentially brighter days ahead.

WMU coach Steve Hawkins said Saturday that Whittington is a better passer than any of the Broncos' current big men -- though pointed out that he's passing over 6-3 centers right now.

Also, my good friend Scott Powers recently featured David Brown on the cover of his e-magazine, Ill.Hoops (Illhoops.com). Powers, a harsh and fairly accurate judge of talent, is very high on Brown. As is Hawkins, who called him a "ready-made guard," similar to David Kool, at Saturday's postgame press conference. I think you'll find this piece interesting.
